Hi Scott (Ezekiel), David and Scott Collingwood,

Thanks a lot for your posts. I thought Ray was the last, but then 'out of the blue' there you came in!

Hi Scott, yeah, that crazy violinist... Well, I really liked him, but not with drums. So it became congas. I also wanted to add a piano and a lead electric guitar. That was a bit tricky, but I managed it. I also had to create a nice bassline in Logic Pro, because it wasn't available in BiaB; otherwise, I couldn't find it.
And then I had to be careful not to make it too "busy." So I kept the vocals a bit understated. Some people still find it too cluttered or busy. Oh well, it is what it is...
And thanks about the vocals.

Thanks for labeling the lyrics - it made it easier to figure out what was happening.
Now, musically... A lot of stuff happening, but it worked. Cool.

Hi David, the labeling was a kind of try out. There were a lot of confusing things going on 'in my head', so how to limit them? If not, the song would have been much to long.
I tried some approaches with ChatGPT for grammar issues and then I came with this. And it worked out well. But did you like the song too?
